For the second time in 13 months, President Donald Trump faces conviction in the US Senate after being impeached in the House of Representatives.
While there are many differences between the impeachment process Trump previously went through and the upcoming Senate trial, the result will likely be the same.
The Senate impeachment trial is scheduled to start on Tuesday. It is unknown exactly how long the trial will last.

Freshman Congresswoman Kat Cammack pitched this damning tweet:
It took Speaker Pelosi six days to introduce articles of impeachment in the House, but it took her more than six months to negotiate COVID relief with Republicans. #Priorities
One of her followers brought the pitch home.
If only a second stimulus package was agreed upon as fast as a second impeachment bill was.♀️
Just when you think the height of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hypocrisy and excess cannot get any higher, she surprises. Pelosi spends 9 months supposedly negotiating a second Stimulus package, “for the American people”, and blamed everyone from Republicans to Big Corporations to President Trump for the failure of not being able to craft a suitable relief package.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - For the second time Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump.
âWhat matters is whether the Senate convicts him on the articles of impeachment brought by the House,â UVA law professor, Charles Barzun said.
President Trump is the only president in U.S. history to be impeached twice.
âThese are unusual times. We live in constitutional times. None of this is at all normal. It might become the new normal and I hope not. These are exceptional circumstances that we are in now,â Barzun said.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) North Carolina s congressional delegation on Monday predictably took different sides on the new Article of Impeachment submitted by Democrats to Congress on Monday that accuses President Donald Trump of incitement of insurrection.
The article is drawing support from more than 200 Democratic lawmakers, including the longtime congresswoman from Charlotte, Alma Adams. This is just so egregious what happened, Adams told ABC11. Members of Congress, our staff, we all could have been killed. I would hope that we never have another person like Donald Trump to try to run for office and to serve.
The effort to impeach comes just a year after Senate Republicans acquitted President Trump of Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress, two Articles of Impeachment which passed the House last January. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, was the only Republican in either chamber to vote alongside Democrats incensed at the President s foreign policy conduct with Ukraine.
